Yoga For You

About this pro

My mission in teaching Yoga and Meditation Classes is to make it more accessible. These practices are for everyone. It is a priority to create modifications or adjust the type of practice to support the student fully. Any limitation(s) a student may have I’m able to sculpt the class to ensure their well-being. My classes are adaptable.

What I enjoy most about the work I do with teaching yoga and meditation is seeing the well-being that blossoms from the practices. At first when the seeds of yoga are planted the student essentially begins the process of waking up. Over time as the practice expands there are great physical and mental benefits. I enjoy when the student gains an Ah-Ha moment! They often realize new truths and perspectives start shifting towards being more present as well as empowered. The work through these practices peels back layers of past conditioning, allowing the student to connect to the core of who they really are.

It was a wonderful one-on-one. Kristina was very patient and was very hands on with helping with posture or making sure you were doing the poses safely and correctly.

Kristina has a been a close friend of mine for many years and throughout that time she has really helped me to grow in my yoga practice. Whether it’s simply stretching or working towards a hard to accieve pose, she has always been helpful and encouraging! I would highly recommend working with her to anyone; from those looking to work on their practice to people just starting to discover the world of yoga

The instructor was very kind and skilled in the craft and was also very patient for people like me. I was not as skilled as others but I appreciate how she took her time to help me get better with each class!

Kristina is a very experienced and caring yoga instructor. Her experience shows through with the way she individualizes the training based on the response I give her as we go through the positions. I have not stuck with yoga for so long but when Kristina came to me and began giving me lessons it was so relaxing and enjoyable I’m so lucky that I found her.

Kristina is very inspirational and fun to practice yoga with. She creates a relaxing atmosphere and is full of creativity. As a beginner, I did not know how to do many of the yoga poses, but that was not a problem since Kristina perfectly demonstrated how to flow from one pose to the next. If I was unable to flow into a pose, Kristina would spot me to help my body adjust to the new movements. Flowing with Kristina not only challenged my body, but also opened up my mind to be more adventurous. I would highly recommend practicing yoga with Yoga For You!

Kristina is an amazingly bright yoga instructor that has helped me learn and improve on my yoga techniques through each lesson that I've went to. Not only are her lessons fruitful, they also always leave me feeling relaxed and at peace if only for a moment out of my busy life/schedule. She even went out of her way to organize a 3 hour yoga class to help raise money for a fundraiser. Can't wait to hopefully be a part of one of her classes again in the future!

Kristina is the perfect Yoga instructor. She is in tune with herself, and easily feels what is needed so is flexible in directing my workout to be the best workout for my needs. She has a wealth of experience and I haven't considered sticking with Yoga for so long, until I found Kristina. She has saved me!!!

Kristina pays attention to details. This allows her to lead classes and private lessons while still ensuring proper form is kept.
Furthermore, Kristina has trained extensively in order to bring students quality yoga sessions. From novice to expert positions, Kristina knows them all. She knows how to target different muscles and energies. She knows how to gauge her students. She knows responsibility and how to lead a class.
Kristina loves what she does; that will certainly be felt in every moment spent with her and yoga.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

Teaching a new student allows me to create a personalized practice based off of the needs and energy of my student. I keep open communication before the class. It is important to ask questions like, if they have any injuries? If they have done yoga before? What they are hoping to gain for the practice? I encourage the new student to ask questions.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have my 200 hour International Yoga Teaching Certification through Yoga Alliance. I have three years teaching experience at different Wellness Studios and teaching privately. I am able to teach many different styles of yoga. My specialities are Vinyasa or flow yoga, Restorative yoga, Ashtanga yoga, and Tantra yoga.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

Typically if I am traveling to the students home or office to teach privately for an hour an a half I charge $50. If that is too much for the student I have openly negotiated the price down to $40 a session.

How did you get started teaching?

I got started teaching in 2015 after I discovered it as a path toward healing. Yoga allowed me to finally see that my home is not an external environment but within my own body. Instead of viewing the body as an image to perfect my perspective has changed to view it as a sacred tool for internal growth and discovery. I was motivated to teach by my goals to help myself and others.

What types of students have you worked with?

I have years of experience teaching yoga to all ages as well as students with various medical conditions. I have taught students with arthritis, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety as well as addiction. I have also taught a pregnant woman. Yoga can be a lifelong, beneficial practice for anyone. I believe that no matter what challenges an individual may face physically or mentally that this practice is a bridge toward wellbeing and overall happiness.

​

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

As I was leading a group of students through a guided meditation at the end of class I realized one of the students fell asleep and started snoring. It is the biggest compliment for this to happen because it means that the student is fully relaxed after the physical practice. After the class the student said my voice sounded like calm ocean waves.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Ask questions! If you keep searching things will keep unfolding with learning. Every question has its purpose.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

Students should think through their own schedule and when they are available for class.
